Abstract	Pancreatic heterotopia, also known as ectopic pancreas, is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue outside its usual anatomical location and without direct connection to the normal pancreas. The clinical presentation of pancreatic heterotopia varies widely, often depending on the ectopic tissue's location, size, and associated complications1. In this case report, we describe a 58-year-old male initially suspected to have a gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). However, subsequent investigations led to a revised diagnosis of pancreatic heterotopia.
